New f150 owner here and I see the bilstein 5100's mentioned a lot here so is that to level the front end basically as I'd like to do that to mine and if so then there's no leveling of the rear wheel shocks? I'm also looking at putting 285/65/18's on my truck is there any issue with rubbing as my current tire are the Michelin at2's 265/65/18. Oh it's a 2013 truck by the way if that matters.

5100s only raise the front end. You can put taller blocks in the rear if you'd like some extra height in the back as well.

You'd be fine with 285/65/18 with or without a level.

Looking for some help. I have a 2010 SCREW with only Bilstein 5100s installed to level up the front. How big of a tire can I fit without rub issues? I don't love the super wide look where tires hang out past the fenders but I'm curious what I can fit. Thanks.

I know you can go bigger but I put 275/70/18 on my factory wheels originally and I loved it. Beefier tire without sticking out or totally destroying your fuel mileage.

Check the spreadsheet on the first post in this thread. Some good information in there

I do not know if this was discussed previously in the thread, but the information I gained was much needed to a novice like myself. If you go to a website called customoffsets.com and go to the gallery and put in your make, year, and model you can see other set ups of wheel and tire combinations. It also lists any mods they had done and if they had to trim or cut any of the wheel well to get the combo to work. Really good information if you are trying to decide before you spend approx. 2k dollars or more on wheels and tires. I hope this helps I am still learning!

285/70R17 Mastercraft Courser MSR's on stock 17" wheels. No lift. They don't rub anywhere, even when the truck articulates offroad.

My truck is a 2014 F150 4x4 3.7L.

The tires cost me $850 after shipping from Summit Racing. Very happy with them so far. They're a very aggressive snow tire.

That's a very nice sized tire for a stock or lightly leveled F150. I run that size in the Toyo AT 2's and have been very happy with it.

The 3.73 gearing on your truck will help a lot. Just going an inch taller only changes your truck's perception of the gearing to about 3.60. That's better than most peoples' 3.55's.

I've had these tires on since September and haven't been disappointed by the little bit of power loss. I've got the Bilstein 5100 leveling struts and a 3" block ordered from Stage 3 Motorsports. I looked at some pictures of trucks that are leveled with this size tire and liked the way it looked. I'm sure I'll put another picture up when all those parts come in this week.

Wheel and tire help for 2012 F150 two wheel drive ex-cab with factory 18s. According to what I have found online the factory rims are 18x7.5" with a +44 offset

The new rims I am wanting are 20"x9 with offset options of -18, +1, or +20 offset.

What offset should I get, and what is the biggest tire option I can go with without having to use a lift or leveling kit? I am looking at an AT tire nothing crazy offroad in style

Thank you I know nothing on this stuff and the more I read the worst it gets lol
